Question:

Two processes, P and Q, are used by a supplier to produce the same component, Z, which is a critical part in the engine of the BearingPort 778 airplane. The specification for Z calls for a dimension of 0.24 mm ± 0.03. The probabilities of achieving the dimensions for each process based on their inherent variability are shown in the table found in the worksheet tab Prob08-11 in the Excel file Ch08Data.xlsx. If k = 60,000, what is the expected loss for each process? Which would be the best process to use, based on minimizing the expected loss?
